We are pleased to announce a new trial database, Historic Map Works. This trial provides access to over 200,000 high-resolution, full color antique and historic maps that trace the "residential genealogy" of families and locations over time.

Work is now underway to replace lamps and add motion light sensors on Levels 2 and 4 in Dimond Library. This work has been funded by a federal grant and is designed to improve energy efficiency.

The existing motion lights on Levels 1, 4, and 5 will be adjusted so they come in within 2-5 feet of each row entrance. The new motion lights are dual sensing – they sense heat as well as motion – so, no getting up to wave your arms when sitting motionless for more than a few minutes.

The University has curtailed operations Tuesday, February 18 effective 12:40 pm. Dimond Library will be open reduced hours from 7:30 am until 6:00 pm and branch library locations will close at 1:00 pm. Be sure to check the library hours to confirm.

The University has curtailed operations for Thursday, February 13. Dimond Library will be open reduced hours from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm and all other locations will be closed. Be sure to check the library hours to confirm.

If you're in Dimond Library at closing time, you might just hear alums actor/writer Mike O'Malley or ABC News anchor Dan Kloeffler remind you to bring your study materials to the circulation desk for check out.

For those not in Dimond Library at closing time, here are the announcements:
